With the release of Mesa 9.2 being a few weeks out, here's a current look at the OpenGL 3.x/4.x support levels within Mesa...

Still stuck on OpenGL 3.0...

So why is my ATI RV670 [Radeon HD 3870] still stuck on OpenGL 3.0?

I've tried building from source (which actually get's it stuck to 2.0) and with xorg-edgers ppa.

you need a recent version of mesa-progs, old glxinfo don't show profiles and if you get GL 2.0 you are doing it wrong and is falling back to LLVMpipe

in fact i would tell you if you use ubuntu stick to their repo release but if you wanna stay bleeding edge switch to gentoo ubuntu is not a friendly place for mess with source compilation

Hope to see OpenGL 3.3 support soon in Mesa.
Sucks that there Khronos doesn't provide any reference implementation.

Who is working on Mesa?

Google and all the Android smartphone companies would only be interested in OpenGL ES.
Does Mesa support OpenGL ES?

I guess AMD and Intel have some developers maybe?
Wish Nvidia would contribute to to Mesa too.

Or if you don't want to compile all day, just use something like Arch Linux and use the AUR/ABS scripts to recompile what you want.

NVIDIA likes OpenGL when it's proprietary.

yeah arch and AUR is a good place to be too

intel hd 200/3000 etc have support for opengl es 3.0 on mesa 9.1.

i hope see opengl 3.3 in november
